Please note that in lieu of sending flowers Jann’s express wishes are that you will make a donation to the NELUNE FOUNDATION. There will be envelopes at the chapel to do so as well as information about this wonderful charity which helps patients fight cancer with dignity. Jann had an active part in this charity.

Regarding speeches, please let me know the day before if you’re intending to speak. The numbers will need to be limited as we are expecting a large number of Jann’s friends on the day.
There will be a gathering after the ceremony for the CELEBRATION OF LIFE. The location TBC ASAP

    From Peter Allan:

    This is very sad news – I was Jann’s manager when she joined OTC. This was in a marketing section called “cashless calling”. She was there when the one and only Telephone Calling Card OTC ever produced was launched. We ended up having Kylie and Dannie Minogue as customers. She was a true professional and went on to have a great career with Singtel, then Optus. Above all she was a very gentle and beautiful person.

    Hi Peter
    Yes I heard the sad news just Monday
    I hired Jann into Optus to work in my dept and she was a total professional. Very sad and a grim reminder of our mortality.
    Cheers
